The AirTAC Airtac MAJ Double Rod Adjustable Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MAJ16X150-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
Rinse-down duty is where the MAJ16X150-50S earns its place: a seamless stainless tube rolled onto aluminium-alloy covers, plus a hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod that shrugs off the mild corrosion that wrecks painted-steel minis in food, dairy or outdoor machinery. Its 150 mm extend stroke can be dialed down to any length inside the ordered 50 mm window with an external stop screw - trim once, keep the same cylinder as products change.
Output at 0.5 MPa is 100.5 N forward and 86.4 N back, topping out near 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa theoretical. Treat roughly 60 N as the practical working budget, or count on about 5 kg of vertical lifting after a 2:1 margin - handy when sizing a flap gate or small hopper slide. Note that the trim stop is an end stop only; with air lost the rod still drifts, so clamp loads separately.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Swings a product-diverter flap on a bottling line, where the stainless barrel tolerates daily hose-down far better than painted minis.
Pushes small electronic components off a conveyor into bins, using the 50 mm trim to match lane spacing without changing cylinders.
Slides open a compact curing-oven door of a few kilograms, sized against the roughly 5 kg vertical lift this bore offers with margin.
Sixteen millimetres is the entry bore of the MA family; if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa runs short, the 20 mm bore lifts that to 157.0 N and the 25 mm bore to 245.3 N, both at the same pressure. Port is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is M6x1.0.
For mounting, pick the FA flange or LB foot and add an I or Y rod knuckle if the linkage needs it. The stop screw trims the extend stroke within the 50 mm window but never holds a load on its own - it is not a brake. Over 150 mm of travel, keep side loads on external guides since the 6 mm rod is slender.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical ceiling is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This bore 16 cylinder runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-800 mm/s, with a 6 mm rod and M5x0.8 ports.
The barrel is a precision stainless tube with the aluminium covers riveted into place, and the carbon-steel rod carries a 20 um hard-chrome plating. That combination handles humidity, washdown and outdoor exposure far better than painted or plain aluminium minis, with no coating to chip or flake.
